A few months ago the Lord put it on my heart to write about affairs. It had been awhile since I last blogged and I wondered why I had felt this topic so strongly tugging at me. I wish I had written it then, when prompted, so it didn’t seem like such a reactionary post…

It’s a little sickening to say, but it has been EIGHT MONTHS since my last post. How did that happen?? I went from every week, to every once in awhile, to almost a year! When I birthed my son, I’m pretty sure he took some of my brain cells with him because even in times…

I interrupt my “Little Things, BIG Difference” series to celebrate something very special. We have reached year 7 in our marriage today! How did that happen? Where did the time go?! I thought about sharing 7 things I have learned in our 7 years, but as I sat on it I realized that it really…

Hand holding. Can you remember when you did it with your spouse for the first time? Do you remember those butterflies that started moving inside your belly and the way your heart started racing a million miles a minute? Do you remember how special it made you feel to be hand in hand with someone…

For the next few weeks I will be sharing some tips on the small things you can do to make BIG differences in your marriage. It really is the small moments that make or break a marriage, isn’t it? Your everyday interactions build you up or bring you down as a couple. Sometimes we tend…

Married couples need encouragement, not warnings. Most warning-givers do not have ill intentions….

I wrote a follow up post to my last on initiating and it has sat in my drafts for weeks now. Alongside other sad and lonely posts that were not meant to be. It just didn’t feel right. I can’t explain it. I don’t think any of the content was wrong, but for some reason, I’m…

Sex is such a hard topic in marriage. You probably know you should be having more of it, you should be trying new things, and you should be making your spouse a priority in the bedroom. And while those things are all true, I don’t think they are really the reasons why married couples are going…

Ah, New Years. A time to take all the junk off the treadmill you bought so eagerly last year and to dust off the running shoes that have been in your closet for just as long. A time to give up all the soda and sweets you so easily devoured over the last few weeks…

November is a special time to thank the Lord for all of our blessings. And whether it feels like it or not right now, our marriages are one of the greatest blessings that God has given to us. As with any blessing, we should be thankful for our marriages all year long, but having that…
